First hot thread.



I think this movie may be a thinker in a "hollywood action flic's" clothing. This little disparity in expectations and actual movie may have lead to it's "so so" performance.

Actually I think the way it ended(religious overtones galore) and its lack of promotion did it in. I consider it a dark horse for the Oscars though and I think hype will boost its blu-ray sales.

Saw it when it first came out, enjoyed it. Will get the blu shortly. As for the religious deal, I didn't notice any. All I got out of it was a movie about a guy who got a letter, which was written by some psychic girl, who got the message from supernatural/aliens to warn of events to come. And of course, the world end, and aliens came to take the goods to another world, to well, continue life. And then there's a cool hip tree.

Good movie.

I LOVE those kind of movies. Sort or "our little secret"-- but not really.

Not a thinker for me. Seemed like the writers had a big plan to start out the movie and took a cheap way out. It just seemed like very little thought was put into it while trying to come off classy. Who can bash a religious ending right????

[Grevlin]

By they way, I was not lucky enough to have a cool professor like that in college.

What was the line... "shit happens." after a long thoughtful stare. And after a brain aching discussion. LOVE IT. I miss getting drunk with people like that.

my thoughts exactly. thought the idea was great, execution was not.

Where did everyone go...

[Batman1980]

You couldn't wait for me to finish the movie? Thought the ending was creepy, again.

[Show spoiler]Everyone except the children die in a solar flare that scorches the planet.

Be free, you don't have to use spoiler tags. And yes, one massive "poof" and the whole thing turns to dust. The delicate nature of things is hard to grasp sometimes. (or we just don't care to even bother thinking about it.)

I loved this movie as it is a "true" scifi.

Where other movies in the genre are more conventional, this one dares to go into left field. It makes you question and think, which is what a scifi is supposed to do.

Alex Proyas is great. I LOVE Dark City, and even though it was more hollywood I enjoyed I Robot, so I figured I would enjoy this one as well.

That was a cool touch, I thought. Having her write out all those numbers that basically told you everything that was going to take place in the movie.

Yeah, the destruction of Earth was a wonder to watch!

It means blu-ray sales for Knowing are going to be much larger then expected.

There are many that consider I, Robot to be one long commercial. I disagree and the only way I would've made it better is cast a hotter female co-star.

Just saw Knowing for the first time on Blu.

Considering the studio, I was blown away by the PQ, AQ, and the movie.

What The Matrix was to DVD, this MAY be to Blu.
